Mission-Critical Servers and RISC Replacement
We have simplified our processor brands. Documentation for the Intel® Itanium® processor now also applies to Itanium processors of the same model number.
Itanium®-based servers deliver the scalable performance, reliability, and headroom for your most compute-intensive workloads, including direct replacement for RISC and mainframe platforms. Because Itanium processors are available in commercial off-the-shelf hardware from a rich ecosystem of system and solution providers, they can quickly meet mission-critical needs.Itanium-based servers are incredibly scalable, allowing configuration in systems of as many as 512 processors and a full petabyte (1024TB) of RAM. Together with full support for both 32-bit and 64-bit applications, that capacity provides unmatched flexibility in tailoring systems to your enterprise needs.

Compare Intel Itanium processor features
Features and benefits
Dual-core processing, EPIC architecture, and Hyper-Threading Technology†
Supports massive, multi-level parallelism for today's data-intensive workloadsProvides headroom for fast access to information and real-time decision makingDelivers fast responses to complex computations
Support for up to 512 processors and one petabyte (1024TB) RAM
Provides scalable performance for enterprise flexibilityGives IT the ability to increase processor and memory capacity as needed, in an open-ended framework
Up to 24MB of low-latency L3 cache
Prevents idle processing cycles with a high-bandwidth data supply to the execution cores Increases the efficiency of the memory subsystem
Intel® Cache Safe Technology
Automatically recovers cache after cache errorsDelivers mainframe-class availability
Enhanced Machine Check Architecture
Automatically detects, logs, and corrects errorsProvides maximum system uptime
Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)±
Reduces virtualization complexity and increases performanceIncreases operating system compatibility
Demand-Based Switching
Dynamically reduced energy consumption during typical CPU utilization (in conjunction with enabled OS)
Core Level Lock-step
Enables one processor core to mirror the operations of the other
† Hyper-Threading Technology (HT Technology) requires a computer system with an Intel® Processor supporting HT Technology and an HT Technology enabled chipset, BIOS, and operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. See www.intel.com/products/ht/hyperthreading_more.htm for more information including details on which processors support HT Technology.± Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) requires a computer system with an enabled Intel® processor, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM) and for some uses, certain platform software enabled for it. Functionality, performance or other benefits will vary depending on hardware and software configurations. Intel Virtualization Technology-enabled BIOS and VMM applications are currently in development.
